Just imagine, an Indian news anchor interviewing someone in a bad costume of a virus with daily soap music playing for the extra effect - I think we can all see that, that seems so on-brand for India, right?

Well, too bad Egypt beat us to the punch in doing that. 

It sucks, tbh, I would've loved to see the Indian version. But, we'll enjoy what we have since it is that hilarious.

Basically, a couple of pictures from a news segment from Egypt is going viral because they literally are interviewing the Coronavirus. Yep, the virus itself. I mean, just look at it!

Close enough?

People are now convinced we're in some weird timeline since things like these are not only possible but are actually happening. 

But, honestly, this is actually better than creating more panic for no reason. It's a great way to get people's attention on the pandemic and as you can see, it clearly worked.

Someone even managed to find the full segment.

i found the segment for my fellow egyptians in the commentshttps://t.co/d4M4nyFg7j

â maie (@MaieAiyed) March 12, 2020 It just seems unreal.

I'm warming up to my fiance's opinion that the world did end in 2012 & everything since then has been Hell.
